Mathayo 16
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Mafarisayo na Masadukayo walimwendea Yesu, na kwa kumjaribu, wakamwomba afanye ishara itokayo mbinguni.
1Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2Lakini Yesu akawajibu, “Wakati wa jioni ukifika ninyi husema: Hali ya hewa itakuwa nzuri kwa maana anga ni jekundu!
2But He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘The weather will be fair, for the sky is red,’
3Na alfajiri mwasema: Leo hali ya hewa itakuwa ya dhoruba, maana anga ni jekundu na tena mawingu yametanda! Basi, ninyi mnajua sana kusoma majira kwa kuangalia anga, lakini kutambua dalili za nyakati hizi hamjui.
3and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.
4Kizazi kiovu kisicho na uaminifu! Mnataka ishara, lakini hamtapewa ishara yoyote isipokuwa tu ile ya Yona.” Basi, akawaacha, akaenda zake.
4A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.
5Wanafunzi wake walipokwisha vukia upande wa pili wa ziwa, walijikuta wamesahau kuchukua mikate.
5When they crossed to the other side, the disciples forgot to take bread.
6Yesu akawaambia, “Muwe macho na mjihadhari na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo!”
6“Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7Lakini wao wakawa wanajadiliana: “Anasema hivyo kwa kuwa hatukuchukua mikate.”
7They discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
8Yesu alijua mawazo yao, akawaambia, “Enyi watu wenye imani haba! Mbona mnajadiliana juu ya kutokuwa na mikate?
8Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?
9Je, hamjaelewa bado? Je, hamkumbuki nilipoimega ile mikate mitano kwa ajili ya wale watu elfu tano? Je, mlijaza vikapu vingapi vya makombo?
9Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
10Au, ile mikate saba waliyogawiwa wale watu elfu nne, je, mlikusanya vikapu vingapi vya mabaki?
10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
11Inawezekanaje hamwelewi ya kwamba sikuwa nikisema juu ya mikate? Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo!”
11How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12Hapo wanafunzi wakafahamu kwamba aliwaambia wajihadhari siyo na chachu ya mikate, bali na mafundisho ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo.
12Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13Yesu alipofika pande za Kaisarea Filipi, aliwauliza wanafunzi wake, “Watu wanasema Mwana wa Mtu kuwa ni nani?”
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14Wakamjibu, “Wengine wanasema kuwa ni Yohane mbatizaji, wengine Eliya, wengine Yeremia au mmojawapo wa manabii.”
14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15Yesu akawauliza, “Na ninyi je, mwasema mimi ni nani?”
15“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simoni Petro akajibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai.”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17Yesu akasema, “Heri wewe Simoni mwana wa Yona, kwa maana si binadamu aliyekufunulia ukweli huu, ila Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.
17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.
18Nami nakwambia: wewe ni Petro, na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu; wala kifo chenyewe hakitaweza kulishinda.
18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
19Nitakupa funguo za Ufalme wa mbinguni; kila utakachofunga duniani, kitafungwa pia mbinguni; kila utakachofungua duniani, kitafunguliwa pia mbinguni.”
19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20Kisha akawaonya wanafunzi wasimwambie mtu yeyote kwamba yeye ndiye Kristo.
20Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
21Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuwajulisha waziwazi wanafunzi wake: “Ni lazima mimi niende Yerusalemu, na huko nikapate mateso mengi yatakayosababishwa na wazee, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria. Nitauawa, na siku ya tatu nitafufuliwa.”
21From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
22Hapo Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea: “Isiwe hivyo Bwana! Jambo hili halitakupata!”
22Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”
23Lakini Yesu akageuka, akamwambia Petro, “Ondoka mbele yangu Shetani! Wewe ni kikwazo kwangu. Mawazo yako si ya mungu bali ni ya kibinadamu!”
23But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
24Kisha Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kama mtu yeyote anataka kuwa mfuasi wangu, ni lazima ajikane mwenyewe, auchukue msalaba wake, anifuate.
24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
25Maana, mtu anayetaka kuyaokoa maisha yake mwenyewe, atayapoteza;
25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26lakini mtu anayeyapoteza maisha yake kwa ajili yangu, atayapata. Je, mtu atafaidi nini akiupata utajiri wote wa ulimwengu na hali amepoteza maisha yake? Au, mtu atatoa kitu gani kiwe badala ya maisha yake?
26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
27Maana, Mwana wa Mtu atakuja katika utukufu wa Baba yake pamoja na malaika wake, na hapo ndipo atakapomlipa kila mtu kadiri ya matendo yake.
27For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
28Kweli nawaambieni, wako wengine papahapa ambao hawatakufa kabla ya kumwona Mwana wa Mtu akija katika Ufalme wake.”
28Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
